I was thinking this, especially since there were so many cases of arson around the country just prior.
However, assuming the video is real, it looks like nearly a dozen fires started in northern Quebec within a few hours of each other. Northern Quebec is big, to say the least, and these sites are at least a few hours away from each other, assuming access to good highways, which there aren't. If it were arson, that would require a team of people, coordinating to start all the fires at the same time (and why would they?).
Same with the possibility of lightning strikes; if it were storms in the area, you would assume the fires would start directionally, moving with the path of the storms.
But they started all at once, in no particular pattern, over a huge area. To me, the seismic activity hypothesis fits the most facts.
Occam's Razor would indicate arson, not plate shifts.
